IMPRVEMENT IN WATER-GLOSETS- alge rlgituli .retentit vtu in there Stetten fnteut ma mating put nf tige 5mm.

To ALL WnoM 1r MAY ooNoERN;

p Be it known that I, HUGH H. CnAIGE, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied tense, a certain new andl useful Improvement in Water-Closets; and I. do hereby deelare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the said invcntion,`ret'erenee being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein-'-. I

Figure 1 isa vertical sectionof the improved apparatus iu position for use.

Figure@ is an elevation of the oook in the position when the water is running.

Figure 3 is a similar view when 'the parts are in position, with the oook shut off; and

Figure 4 is a plan, illustrating the action of the cool; in regulating the supply of water,

Similar marks oi' referencedenote the same part-s.

The present invention is an improvement upon that for which Letters Patent were granted to rneMarch 13, 1866, and consists in an improved Vhorned cam and operating segment, moved hy the cock that-'operates to turn down the jet pipe previous to the water being allowed to pass into the said jet pipe, the cock being freely turned to regulate the force of the jet of water,v and upon the reverse movement the water is shut oil, and then the jet pipe turned up to its normal position by the action oi' said disk and horned cam. VThis improvement prevents the risk of injury that n'iight resnltin the former mode of construction, in consequence of the teeth of the segments not coming correctly together when they have been separated by the turning of the handle In the drawings a is a standard attached to the door, near the/side of the Water-closet; b is an adjustable holder for the cook f; said vholder being provided Withjavvs, in vertical flanges, one of which secures the eoek by the set-nuts 1; the other receives a movable thimble, 2, through which passes the horizontal portion 3, eon fleeting with the curved `iet pipef, at the end of which is a nozzle or rose, or other oriiioe, for the discharge of theivater, when the pipeA is turned down, within the water-closet. At the en'cl of thehorizontal pipe 3, a tapering plug is formed, that is ground into the horizontal Water-wayof the cool: fiend the thimble 2 acts to keep this tight; but should there be any leak at this point, or from the cook, it passes into the cup 4 of the adjustable-holder b, whence a pipe, at 5, conveysthe water to the closet or sewer pipe. Between the thimble 2 and the tapering plug, the pipe 3 is provided'with a horned cam, z', that is of a triangular configuration, and-Z is a segment, upon the plug et" the oook, having a hole or hook, at 5, that, passing below the end of the triangular or horned cam 2f, will turn it, rotating the pipes 3 and f sovthat the latter -will occupy a horizontal position; and .6 is a stop to arrest the further movement ot' the segment Z as the pipe j' is turned up. g is the supply pipe for the Water, and h is a. handle, eenling above the seat, so that the pipeand cock may be operated thereby. When the said handle hy is' turned, the-segmenti, acting on the cam i, turns down the pipe le, and said disk, being over the dat side of the cam, holds it and the pipe .7c in position; but the handle h can he turned back or forth to let in the water through the cock f, orregulute the force of the jet, to whatever extent may he desired. i When the handle h is turned in the opposite direction,` the hooked portion 5 of the disk passes below theend of the horned cam z', turning it up into the position shown in iig. 3, and shutting oil' the supplyvof water.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy l. The adjustable standard and drip-cup, in combination with thecock f, and jet pipe k, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. i

2. I claim the thimbleQ, in eoxnhnationwith. the cook f, jet pipe 7c, and plug on the pipe 3, for allowing said pipe .1c to be turned, but keeping the joint waterftight, as set'orth. 'J

3. I claim `the hrned cam z', and-Segment l, ineoomhinatiou with theock f, and pipe 7c, for the purposes and as set forth. i A
